The Vidzeme Planning Region, in cooperation with local municipalities, has created new tactile solutions and audio guides<\/strong>. The work was carried out as part of the “Access Routes” project. Both the tactile objects and the audio guides are accessible and engaging not only for people with visual impairments, but for every visitor. The new objects can be found at seven popular tourist attractions: Lake Lielezers in Limba\u017ei, Ska\u0146aiskalns Nature Park in Mazsalaca, the Madona Local History and Art Museum and Gulbene Station, Litene Manor, the nuclear missile base in Zelti\u0146i, and the Bilska Lake nature trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new objects include figures and miniature scale models of places, as well as large-format maps. The objects will help people with low vision or blindness gain a detailed tactile understanding of significant historic buildings, sites, and living creatures, as well as grasp the scale and layout of the places they visit.<\/p><\/div>

At the nuclear missile base in Zelti\u0146i (Al\u016bksne municipality), a rest area featuring a tactile map with a bench is available at two locations. The map allows visitors to explore the site’s layout \u2013 including strategic structures such as shelters, hangars, and other buildings \u2013 as well as residential houses and roads.<\/p><\/div>
